The Call for Extended Abstracts is officially open for the seventh edition of the Historic Mortars Conference (HMC 2025), which will take place from September 2-4, 2025, at the University of Padua.
HMC 2025 will focus on research concerning technology and characterization of historic mortars, conservation and restoration issues in historic masonry structures and archaeological sites, development of heritage-inspired building materials for sustainable architecture, design of repair materials, and test methods for historic and repair mortars. HMC 2025 will constitute a gateway of interaction between the academic and professional worlds involved in the fields of study of historic mortars and formulation, application and testing of restoration materials for built heritage, linking advanced scientific research to state-of-the-art industrial production and development.
HMC 2025 is co-organized by the University of Padova, the Politecnico di Milano, the Institute of Condensed Matter Chemistry and Technologies for Energy of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-ICMATE), and the Associazione Italiana di Archeometria (AIAr), and co-sponsored by the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM).
